The Democratic State C<nvent'on which met at Harrishurg i>n the 24th was presided over by Richard Vaux, who, upon taking the chair, sa'd : GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: The Democratic party of Pennsylvania, by her representatives, in conformity with the an cient usuages of the party, are again assem bled in State Convention. Since the days of Thomas Jefferson, in eve ry crisis of our country's history, Inve we as semtled in these halls, year afier year, in th s capital of the Commonwealth ; bold and de fiant have we stood, by the principles of con stitutioiial liberty, which can alone maintain us as a happy and prosperous people. Atuid threats of violence and :f.e menaces of power, the Democracy never quailed Do ring the last four years of war and oppression, when all the pressure of executive power was used to ror.trol the Democratic party, when to be a Democrat was something more thau at auv period in our past history, theDe inocracy met t'ie enemy upon the great prmci pl sot the Constitution ard dtfied the | any it v [d iee it} \Yc have met again. Let us do as our fa thers in all ages before us have done, stand on the broad principles of the Constitution and ask for all it gives to the States or to the people, and be t-aiisfitd with not ling else. These principles cannot be chanced by fi natics nr overridden by knaves, f Applause ] Our fathers made this compact of f. d- rative Union under hardly less than inspiration, and it cannot be altered bv fanatics or degraded bv power. Its provisions ate for ns and our children.and military necessity shall not de prive either tbese rights and privileges The tights of the people are as dear to us as the rights of the States, and the rights ol the States are as dear to thp pe -ple as art their individual rights.* One 'hing must be dis tinctly understood. Our dignity and man hood must not be degraded by social < quality with an inferior race! [Great cheering|. Geßllemeu of the Convention: Hiving bv vnur partiality, been chi sen to preside over vour deliberations, I ask your indulgence, and promise to perform tnv duties to the best of my ability. The Ch ur is now ready for vny motion that may be made. Tha Convention finally adopted, unani m usly, the following r solutions, np-'t.d by the Hon Jeremiah S. Black: PLATFORM r WHEREAS. It is the imperative duty and should he the exclusive d :*tre of every American citizen intrusted with the power of corn rolling public nffiirs by bis vote or o'herw.se, to see that they are admin istred with a single eye t"> the great nhje ds wbiih outforet ithers bad in view when they laid tbe foun dations of this republic, viz : To form a more erfect un on ; establish justice : insu-e do meet i ! tranquili tv : provide for the common defence ; promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of li* erty co ourselves and our posterity. WHEREAS. The men and the party administering the Federal Government since 1861 have betrayed their trust, violated their sacred obligations disre garded the commands of tbe fundamental law, cor ruptly squandered the public money, den el justice to tbe people, perverted the whole government from its original purpose, an I thereby have brought on untold calamities upon the country; therefore he it Resolced , That we. the Democracy of Pennsylva ni i are now as we always have been, faithful to the Union of the States, opposing the secession ot the South with all our influence and having sympathy or association whatever with the p ir'y in the North which plotted against the I nion and p-onounced the Constitution "a coveuant with death and an agree ment with hell." Second That if the c >unsels of the Democratic party had prevailed the Union would have been saved in all its integrity and honor, Without the slaughter, debt and dsgr.ice ofot a civil war. But when the formation of sectional parties in the North and in the South,and the advent of one of these p tr ues into the seats of power made war a f ct which we could not counteract, we su-tained the Federal authorities in good faith, asking nothing at their hands except a decent respect for our legal rights and some show of common honesty in the manage ment of our financial aff.iirs, but in both these par ticulars we were disappointed ami betrayed Third. That the Constitution established by our revolutionary fatheis is entitled to our unqualified respect and obedience ; the oath to support it is bin ding, religiously. morally, an I legally, at all times under all circumstances, and in every part of the country, upon all public officers, from the highest to the lowest as well as upen private citizens; it is on ly by a strict observance of its provisions, and a id enforcement of its obligations in all the States, that we can hope for uniou, liberty, or peace- He who willfully violates it, or counsels violation by others, is a public enemy and dishonest man. Fourth. That among the rights guarantied to us by the plainest words ol the Constitution are these : Free press, freedom from arbitrary arrest and ille gal imprisonmont, trial by jury, tbe writ of habeas corpus, th* perfect immunity f all persons not in the army or navv from any s|>eciea ot punishment for crime or pretended crime which is not the legal consequence of a legal conviction oy an impartial ju ry, the absolute subordination of al military power to the civil authority, and the privilege of white citi zens to vote at the State elections, according to the laws of the State, Fifth, That we fully concur with President John son in tbe conviction expressed by huu in 18b0, and repeated several times since, that the Fedeial Gov ernment is sovereign within its proper sphere ; that it act* not through or upon the Siafes. ou directly upon individuals ; thai the States could not absolve the people from their Federal obligations ; that tbe S>at ordinan eg of secession were nullities, and, therefore, when the attempted revolution came to an end by the submission of tbe insurgents, the Sfntes were as much a part of the Union as they bad been before. Their people were bound to the same duties and clothed with the same rights excepting, of course, such rights as individuals among them had legally forfeited by their own acts in the meantime, and we hereby declaie that so f r as we can prevent it, the r sumption of their proper places in tbe Union by those States, some of whose citizens were lately in rebellion, shuil not be im;>eded or delayed by the unlawful interference ot thut tuition at tbe North which was always hostile to the Union, wh'ch now pronounces it legally dissolve >, an I which is still malignantly laboring to pr •vent it* res'oration. Sixth That the efforts n w na<ng by certain persons to use the power ot the G cue ml Government with a view to force negro suffrage on the States, against the will of the people aou conrrary to exis ting luw, is not only a nigh crira • against the Cons titution, but a deliberate attempt to put the States otthis Union (all of theui more or less and some of them entirely) under the douiintiou of negroes, to Africanize a large portion of the country, and de grade the white race, morally ani socially as ell as politically to the low level of the tdack We will not acknowledge tbe incapacity of our own ra:e to fevers itself, n r rtnen lvr the deeritriM of the oona* tr> into <he hinds of uegroex, nor pu Or el re un der their guardian-hip, nor giro up to IUCUI (he priv ileges which we inherited from our fathers, and we exhort our br thren in other States to take up the sauie attitude and maintain it firmly, ;>eveuth That we will support Presiient Johnson in every just effort he may make to p ace al the States in their proper positions. t give them a fair repiesentatiin in Congress, to save them from the ' ourse ol nero equaliu; he shall ha.e our hearty ap proval when he infii -ts legal punishment by meaas of legal tribunals upon offenders against the Uuiied States, nn Iwe will be with biin in every means wh eh looks to the maintenance of the public credit But our full approval of his administration can be founded only in the belief that he will execute the law, the whole law, and nothing but th# law in all parts of the country ; that he will no' allow the mil itary to interiors with the State elections ; that he will punish kidnapping and robbery through tbe le gal authorities, whether committed by Federal offi cers or private citizens, and that he will suffer no petson to be murdered by military commission, and upon these measures there can be no compromise; he that is not for us is against us Eighth. That in view of our enormous national debt, ihe great weight of our State taxes, and tbe local burdens imposed upon us in divers ways, econo my and entrenchment becomes an imp irtant duty of all our representatives, and to this end the vast standing army now on t<iot ought to be disuanded tbe uavy should be reduced, and tbe corrupt and ex trav gant practices lately introduced into the gov ernment should be totally abolished. Niuth. That our revenue laws need to be careful ly revised in such * manner that while the public creii will be maintained and tbe national honor preserved, taxation will be equal and just, Temu, That the gallant soldiers of the republic, who so nobly risked their lives in defense of the Un ion and the Constitution, merit and will receive tbe undying gratitude of the Amotican people. Living, they shall live if our warmest affections, and dying, their memories will be cherished for all time to come. To say as our poMti-al opponents do. that tbey fought and bled, and died mainly for the freedom of the negro, is a gross insult oa their patriotism, and an outrage which will be intignantly resented by their surviving comrades through the ballot-box. Eleventh. That tbe ruble tnannir in which tbe Democratic press of this Commonwealtn have con tended in the defense of the liberties of the nation, amid trills and difficulties almost unparalleled, is deserv ing of our grateful recognition, and should en title it to the encouragement of eveiy constitution loving-citizen. Twclt.h That we reaffirm our adherence to the Monroe ooctrine. Adopted ananimonsly. NOMINATIONS. AUDIT H GENERAL The &*iivent-on then proceeded to the notn 'nation of candidate* for Auditor General.

OSTERHOUT, President, GEO. S TUTTON, ) c ~ N. P. WILCOX, S ' V The Abolition Platform. The two following resolutions contain all the pith of the platform adopted by the abo lition Convention a' Harrisburg, on the 17ih instant: 3. Tha' the mild and generous method of reconstruction offered by the President to the people lately in rebellion in the judg ment of this Convention, has not been ac cepted in the spirit of h >nety. loyaltv and gratitude, but with such evidence of defiance and hostility as to impel us to tha convic tion that ihey cannot safely be entrusted with -he pol'tical rights which they forfeited by their treason, until they have proven their acceptance of the results of the war, bv in crrpnrriing them in constitutional provisions and securing to all men within their bor ders in their inalienable rights life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 4, That having conquered the rebellious Sta'es, they should be held in subj crion, and the treatment they are to receive and the laws which are to govern them, should be referred t" the lawmaking power of the nation to which it legitimately belongs. Nothing can be plainer than that the con vention and the party are opposed to the "re construction* principle of the President. He is in favor of entrusting the people of the South with political rights, reorganization of the S'afe governments, and their represents tion in Congress ; while the abolition party of Pennsylvania wants them 'HELD IN SUB JECTION' as a conquered people, governed by laws made by C >ngres. Are the people of the North s- ready for a military establish ment necessary to hold the people 'in sub jection' and rule over them ? Local and I'ersonaL Capt. Joseph Camp, one of the few remaining heroes of the wr of 1812, died st his residence in Lemon Tp in this County, a day or two since.— 1 Will not some friend furnish us a more extended no tice of the good old pstriarch.
